Free speech only applies to the government. Oh wait, this shithead is part of the government now…

You’d think he understood

Looks like 1.6% of their GDP. That’s respectable for non US countries I thought. That is also just the increase.

Agree though that it’s prolly not enough. It does like like the EU is starting the motions for a European army though

That seems bullshit.

Take a look at meshtastic, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meshtastic

Not exactly what you are talking about but it’s a local tech solution for communication

Agreed. I want the killing to stop and Russia to stop it’s conquest.

I don’t think federation saves us. If the server owners are in the states they still have to comply. I don’t know for certain, but I think if there are us citizens using it, some laws might compel non us based servers as well.

The only way around it that I can think of is tor. That doesn’t make it legal it would just be harder to stop.

All of this is assuming the US justice department would even care enough though.

A non-US person that causes a US person to violate US sanctions or engage in conduct that evades US sanctions may itself become subject to US sanctions.

I don’t know the text of the sanctions, but lemmy.world could be under US jurisdiction if they allow me to violate sanctions.

Seems pretty dumb to me that the US has been allowed to assert itself this much.

Are there any 501c3’s out there that I can host with? That would be the dream. Unless I guess buying into a cooperative of those exist

Yeah I don’t disagree. Corporations shouldn’t exist imo, but they do and if you don’t want to host your own things then we have to work with them.

I bet you could sync issues if you were bored enough. It’d be a pipeline that you have to maintain and two way syncs are a pain to maintain, but I bet it’s doable

Not that I condone Microsoft, but if it is a sanctioned country (Russia, Iran, North Korea, etc.). Microsoft will be in shit with the US government if they let it there.

If the project has contributors from there, then I guess they need to move off GitHub like they did.

It’s the European honeybee no doubt. The native species may even do better with this loss, but it doesn’t fix the pollination issue for our food.

So Europe forces in Ukraine? Any idea what Putins response will be?

This sounds like a scam.

Yeah I agree. I’m just trying to not be accused of “calling for violence” in my public lemmy posts lol

Brown shirts are unofficially part of the administration. This is going to get a lot worse if we don’t figure out how to de-escalate

Powdered spirulina is pretty foul. I’ve heard that when fresh it’s more palatable.

You can process crickets to make them mostly flavorless as an additive but I hear you.

Like I said it would take a culture shift.

In Florida it’s legal to run over protestors, maybe they will make that a federal rule

I’m super interested in insects too. Im growing spirulina right now to experiment if it can be a protein source

Yeah, the only way I see reducing livestock is if the cost gets unacceptable for the working class. Nobody wants to hear “you need to eat plants”. Would require a culture shift in the US at least

I probably won’t, every time I open android studio I get mad and do something else, and apple I hear is even worse. If someone wants to blaze the trail for us I can help clean up stuff and write other code other than the front end.

If you want to get some folks together though I’m game. There is lots to do in a software project that isn’t coding if you want to contribute to that stuff.
